Hope Cen-Tejas is high and dry. Got these the last couple days:
we got ten inches this week. Lake Travis is nearing an all time high having risen 30’ in something like 48 hours. That’s a 65 mile long and deep lake. Dam’s up the Colorado River west of Austin.
It may go over the spillway which in it’s 80 odd years I don’t believe has ever happened.
And this:
I live around 800 above sea level. All this is going on around 650 50 750 ten miles away. But, its huge. Hundreds of boats and docks got washed down the river, bridges destroyed that had been around 75 years and many helicopter rescues. I haven’t heard of anyone killed yet.
“we got ten inches this week”
Yes and it was very widespread over much of the basin..plus its not summer and there is less vegetation to help absorb runoff
